just can't stop

 well hello everyone and happy monday! how was everyone's weekend?

tom and did some more thrifting. i found a bunch of tops which always makes me happy and a pumpkin pie dish! i can't wait to use it this thanksgiving :D

we have the nesting bug or something because this weekend we re-rearranged the front room, literally flipped the couch to sit in front of our salon art wall and WHAM!, it became a whole different room! whilst listening to some vinyl and enjoying our *new* room we just couldn't get over why it took us 2 years to move the couch over a couple inches...it really makes life so much more wonderful and enjoyable! it really is the little things in life that make it that much sweeter <3

 while gazing upon the kitchen from my new favorite spot i realized how ugly our little kitchen window was and it needed to get fixed...so i dug around in my fabric basket and dug out some fabric we both agreed would look perfect....
 and the next day i got down to business on making some curtains. these were the first pair i have ever made and didn't look up how to make them; it seemed simple enough and you know it really was! i can't tell you how much fun it was to make them and how satisfying it was. a while back i picked up a grab bag of lace from the thrift store and used a bit as tie backs for our new tiny curtains. now from my new favorite spot i can gaze upon my own crafting genius and feel a sense of accomplishment, yay me :D

  10. I really love the fabric you chose for your kitchen window. So pretty!!

    Every once and a while my husband and I rearrange a room in our rental house just to keep it "new", since we can't really paint walls or anything. Your house is very cute!

  20. The couch looks like it was always meant to be in front of that art wall. I hope to get some rearranging done this weekend...of course I say that every weekend but I think this weekend it may actually happen.

  28. Eeepity eep eep! I love your restyle of the living room! Those curtains are sooooo amazing. I swear you've got such large heaps of talent...I love it. I also drooled...literally....over the top you were wearing while sewing those adorbs curtains! I love it! I do hope you do the home try on for Warby Parker...free and you can see if you like any enough to spend $95. I think there are some on there that would be perfect for your cute face!

  31. Your house looks magical and cozy!! I want to see more of it. :)

    Your curtains look awesome! I also like the curtains you have hanging in the doorway in the living room.

    This makes me want to nest! I don't think our house is very "photo-worthy" at the moment. :P

  32. where did you nab that awesome fabric for those curtains? so lovely!

  33. The curtains are so perfect for you! And I know what you mean about rearranging, although usually I have a pretty good eye for when a piece of furniture is in the not-wrong-but-not-quite-right place. My mum and sister have had to be convinced on more than one occasion :)
